Nora ('arl, a novice al the Convent of the Holy Ghost. 203 Nolan street died venterday afternoon at 4 o’clock of starvation For the lust six weeks »h< had been lasting, and existed onlv ot; a scanty diet of bread ami wider. Ilie entreaties of the bishop of tin diocise. the physician in attendance nnd slaters of the convent to change her manner of living were of uo avail. She believed it waa her duly to do ex tra penance for those people addicted to drink. She Mihoried liquor in every form. There is in her death a pathetic story. She died at the age of 30 years, ami had been in Ute I'uited States but a year and a half, coming to this country from Ireland in company with a number of other young lauiea of Irish extraction. -the had lieen n devout Catholic from early age. In her girlhood she avowed that a drop of liquor should never pass her lips and that she would always preach against the evil of driuking She loved solitude and prayed a great deal for the people sho drank. On this score she would allow no one to alter her belief. Her triud practically became centered upon this subject. Six weeks ago she announced that she would do extra iienance. The sis ters at the convent protested against such action. Their protests were not heeded. Miss Carl would take noth ing but bread and water. She began to fail rapidly. The mother superior of the convent is away from the city and Die matter was reported to the bishop. That was about two weeks ago. She was told that she must not fast in this manner else she would not receive the full rites of the church nor would she be made a nun. Ton days ago Dr. Eciward Bennett was called in to sec* her. He advised that she be sent to New Orleans im mediately in the hopes of bettering her condition. Dr. Bennett express ing the belief that her mind was at fected. Miss Carl listened to advice though she profited by none of it. She told why she fasted —that the condi tion of those addicted to drink might be bettered. Dr. Bennett thought she could be improved at New Orleans. The sisters at the convent could not send her there for the mother super ior was away. Slowly but surely she dwindled away until she was a mere shadow of her former self. Friday af ternoon she died of inanition. The funeral was held today and services will be conducted at the con vent. Caroline Hoffman, aged 84 years, died Friday of old age at the resi dence of her son-in-law. William ZOtz mann, 214 Spruce street. The re mains will be taken to New Braunfels for interment tomorrow.

The February 10 Story Book is now on the market. As usual, it attracts attention with a most striking cover design. A story of Mary E. Wilkins is featured. General Charles King conies second on the list with “A Honeymoon Hold-Up." Among other well known writers in this issue are H. S. Canfield, Mrs. Moses P. Handy and Lynn Roby Meekins. The master piece of the month is by Thomas Har dy, the famous English novelist. Miss Wilkins’ story is particularly apropos for the month of February, it being entitled “A Truant Valentine.” This popular authoress shows all her old time cleverness in touching the heart stringk. As in all her work we find in this production that it is only a step from laughter to tears. Gen. Charles King's story is of more than usual in terest In ‘‘A Honeymoon Hold-Up” there is the soldier, the bandit and the love-lorn maid, meeting all the require ments of the most romantic enthusiast. H. S. Canfield’s story is in his usual happy vein. He deals with Bohemian life, of which he is apparently thor oughly familiar. “The Rout of tho Golden Fleece,” by Mrs. Moses P. Handy, is a trifle Frenchy, but never theless, it is done so delicately that it cannot offend. "The Lady Penelope." the story by Thomas Hardy, is equal to his best, and that is saying much, for all of those who are famililar with his “Tess." All in all, the February issue of 10 Story Book is an exceed ingly strong one. Cheap Excursions. To Asheville, N. C., via the Southern Railway. Apply to your nearest Ticket Agent. M. H.

Co, When Clarkson entered, Halliday glanced up from his desk and a sudden frown darkened his face. The visitor leaned heavily upon the railing that shut the desk -off from the rest of the office, and Halliday noticed the sweat standing in beads upon his forehead. “Well, Clarkson ’" he said at last. "Mr. Halliday." replied the other, a tremor, against which he struggled, in his voice, "Mr. Halliday. I have ex hausted all my resources. Every dol lar I have in the world is tied up in the deal. Upon you, and you alone, depends whether or not I shall be a pauper tomorrow morning.” Halliday laughed. "Squeezed, are you?" he asked. "Yes, squeezed,” the other replied; “squeezed so tightly that 1 am abso lutely powerless to raise another pen ny.” •" ~ And you have come to me to ” “I have come to you, as an old friend. Halliday, to ask you to—well, to just release the pressure a little and let me out with at least enough to keep my daughter and myself from poverty. Think of the—of the old days in Minerva. Halliday.” For a moment tho other tapped, meditatively, upon his desk. And then, without looking up, he said: “In other words, you mean that for old times' sake I should sell enough of my holdings in wheat to enable you to get from under with a whole skin, is that it, Clarkson?” "That is all I ask," Clarkson an swered, eagerly; “just a chance. Hal liday. If not—if not —God, I'm ruined." Again Halliday tapped upon the desk, a pallor slowly creeping over his face and a brilliant glimmer stealing into his eyes. "Clarkson," he said, turning sud denly in his chair and facing the man against the railing. His voice trem bled. his fingers shook nervously. "Clarkson, yon speak of old times in Minerva. Do you remember Nellie Barnes —little Nellie Barnes with the jet black locks and the tender blue eyes, who went to school with us in Minerva? Do you remember her, Jim Clarkson? "Can’t you close your eyes and see little Nellie Barnes trudging along the road to school, her books under one arm and her dinner basket on the other, and (he smiles chasing each oth er around the dimples in her cheeks? Can't you? Can't you sec her yet. as she used to look in those old days? "Jim. many a night, back (here in Minerva. I could hardly sleep for thinking of Nellie Barnes, and. ah me! many a night since I have lain awake thinking of her and wishing I could kill that brute of a husband of her’s." He paused a moment, gazing sharp ly at the other, a sneer curling his lip. But Clarkson uttered no word. “God. Jim. how I loved little Nellie Barnes in those days.” he continued presently. "Awkward, uncouth, bash ful as I was. I loved her with a devo tion that has not been dimmed in all these years. 1 used to dream of the days to come when she should be my wife and I should he wealthy and fa mous, for I always meant to be. Jim. And I used to plan how we should live and where we should go. and how T should lavish my money to make her happy. But there was another boy* in school, in those days, who had a hand some face and an easier way with the girls than I did, and I soon realized that little Nellie Barnes liked him bet ter than she did me. "Of course it hurt —at the start. It hurt that any one else should have that which I so craved and coveted— tlie love of little black haired Nellie Barnes. But. Jim. I was honorable! then, even as I try to be now. and I i couldn't see but that this other boy ' had won her affections In a fair and! upright manner.

Jim, listen: One day while I was sitting alone on a log down by the river. 1 took a mighty, a solemn oath that I'd always watch over Nel lie Barnes, and, no mater whom she married, if her husband didn’t treat her like an angel ought to be treated, that I'd get even with him, somehow, some time, and —I've kept my oath, Jim." Again he paused and the man, lean ing against the railing, bowed his head and picked, with bis fingers, at the top of one of the palings. Presently ho raised his head, but seeing the other staring at him with eyes like the eyes of a hawk, lowered his head again and. with an effort, spoke. "Well?" he said. 'Well," Halliday resumed, "we ail left the little, white schoolhouse, finally, and I went to work on the farm. This —this other boy went to the city, but after a few years came back and married Nellie Barnes, and —and you know the rest, Jim Claik son.” “Yes, 1 know the rest." the other replied. “You know the rest,” Halliday re sumed. almost fiercely, "for you were this —this other boy. And that hand some face of yours was but a mass for your devilish, brutal nature that slowly, but surely broke the wo mans heart. She's sleeping out there in Greenwood, but I'm here, Jim Clarkson. I’m here and I haven’t for gotten my oath! "Listen: Ever since that woman’s death I’ve planned and schemed to get you just where I’ve got yon now. And you—you who killed little black haired Nellie Barnes, come here and ask me to be merciful to you. And I? God, man. I can't forget the little girl I used to know and love back there in Minerva I'm keeping my oath. Jim Clarkson." And without another word, he turned again to his desk and tbe other, weak, trembling, paie as the dead, staggered out of the office. When Halliday glanced up from his papers, a tew moments later, he saw a young woman standing beside the railing. Like one dazzled by a sudden flash of lightning, he sprang to his feet and covered his eyes tor a moment with his bands. Then, with heaving bosom and staring eyes, he held out his hands to her and cried: “Nellie! Nellie Barnes!” For the woman had jet black locks ar.d tender, blue eyes, and the snnles were chasing each other around the dimples in her cheeks. “No." she replied, in a voice that, to the man. seemed like an echo from the long ago, “no. I am Miss Clarkson. I am looking for my father. 1 under stood ” ' He was here a moment ago." Hal liday answered in an awed voice. “If you will be seated 1 w ill scad a clerk to find him." She took the chair he proffered her. and Halliday, loaning against the rail ing, looked down into her face and chatted with iter, charmed with the beauty of her eyes. And all the time he was thinking of a little white sr-hool house in the Minerva hills and of a school girl trudging along the road.
